September 2010 - Volume XXXVI Number 8
“Do not neglect the gift you have,
which was conferred on you
through the prophetic word with the imposition of hands of the presbyterate.
Be diligent
in these matters, be absorbed in them,
so that your progress may be evident to everyone.”
1 Timothy 4:14-15

A friend of mine loves to delve into the roots of words. She
loves discovering distant relations between words that reveal
their deeper meanings. For example, the other day we explored
the relationships between words like “lector” and “election” and

used to talk about the need for “schools of prayer” and “schools of
communion”. One of the
key indicators that a person is mature is that they continue to be
“teachable”, that is, they realize that there’s still a lot to
learn, no matter how old or educated you become.

by Anna Maria Pouchet
This
is an excerpt of the testimony given at the WWCCR Pentecost
Celebration on May
22, 2010
I am here today
because of God’s love.
I’m from a small island in the

and I was introduced to Charismatic Renewal at the age of 8 years

the Spirit at the age of 12.
But there was a defining moment in my life where I, like
Peter, betrayed God. I walked away from everything that I knew was
good.
